Fisherman At Sunset…
(from Jenni Dennis’ painting ‘Pêcheur au coucher du soleil’,
the January image from her 2021 calendar…
The fading sunlight
Exudes a permanence,
An enormity, a serenity,
A tumbling of sultry, capricious clouds
And an indulgent cacophony
Of colour to the horizon of yolk…
The fisherman, adroit,
Eclipsed by the iridescence,
On the periphery, so temporary,
As whitecaps smother his line like shrouds,
Conducts with his rod a symphony,
The sunset’s magnificence to invoke…
